In 2007, Sydney local Cameron Nupier did something no-one else has ever done. He played the perfect cricket match. Scoring an unbeaten century, and then taking all ten wickets.

As far as we can tell, he's the only person in history to do it.

@rodneyulyate @Potato03241589 @HusseinManack @ACScricket He has played well in SA in test but to say he is a better batsman than Steve Smith who plays in different conditions home and away.
Bavuma gets injured on away tours.

[Rodney Ulyate @rodneyulyate]

@Potato03241589 @HusseinManack @ACScricket Smith plays more Tests, so volume is irrelevant.

I'm intrigued that you feel you can wave away a nineteen-run difference in their averages, spread over two years.

Smith has the better career record. But right now, clearly, Bavuma is the better batsman.
